    re encode audio files within Rhythmbox

    My question is, has anyone written a plugin for Rhythmbox that would allow me to select music in my library > right click > and convert to another format? Or something along those lines?

    When I want to put music on my phone in a more compressed format (my library is all in .flac and .alac), it seems its a longer process than it needs to be. There is a disconnect between making a selection of music within Rhythmbox, and then re encoding the selection using other programs like avconv etc. I use Rhythmbox to rip my CDs, it would be nice if I could do the same with files already in my music library.

    Alternatively, what is a good music player/manager for Ubuntu that would allow me to select music and re encode it without having to open another program?

    deadbeef is good and does that but may not be library enough for your needs
